A non-national person arriving by air or sea is required to present to an Immigration Officer for permission to enter and be in the State. Permission is granted on the basis of the person's purpose of stay in the State. In the case of a person who is visiting this may be for a maximum period of 90 days. However, the duration of the permission granted is determined by the Immigration Officer to whom the person presents based on the information provided by the person concerned and the assessment of the Immigration Officer to whom he or she presented.

A non-national may not remain in the State without the permission of the Minister for Justice and Equality and the person concerned should make an application for further permission to remain if he seeks to extend his stay in the State beyond his current period.
